From our readers:

With regret, I must dole out big DISSES to the frogs of New Hampshire. Why, why must they sprint for and then hang out in the road every time it rains? It turns the drive anywhere into a white knuckle frog slalom event, which is very stressful for those of us concerned for their welfare. Appreciative KISSES to those frogs who keep off the asphalt!

KISSES and hugs goes to my mom, Agnes McLane, who taught 10 of us this song about leaves. "Come little leaves said, the wind one day, come over the meadows with me and play. Put on your dresses of red and gold. For the summer has gone and the wind, grows cold. Soon, as the leaves heard the wind's loud call, down they came fluttering one and all. Over the meadows, they danced and flew, singing their soft little songs they knew." Precious memories of days gone by.

KISSES to Balance, A Women's Gym, located on Brewery Lane in Portsmouth. Great equipment, welcoming atmosphere, wonderful place for women to feel comfortable and supported while they work out. I love it!

Huge KISSES to The Fabulous Find for its continuing contributions to local nonprofit organizations. This thrift shop boutique is located in Kittery and contributes 100 percent of its profits every month to local groups. The Common Table was gratified to be one of its recipients for the month of September. Through its generosity, a delicious restaurant style meal will be available to hundreds of people. Thank you for your generosity of spirit.

DISSES to those people who think that it is completely acceptable to bring their pet dogs into local businesses. Many more DISSES to those merchants who allow pet dogs into their establishments. I have owned a service dog for nearly five years; she has been through extensive training to earn that title. Allowing pet dogs (complete with their barking) public access is a huge distraction to my dog, who works very hard to assist me. KISSES to those merchants who understand the difference between pet dogs and service dogs and aren't afraid to speak up about it.

KISSES to the pretty, young lady who cashed a $20 bill for a $1.50 toll at the Portsmouth Parking garage, and told me to keep the change and pay for people coming through behind her (whom she did not know). A total of 15 cars came through and were delighted to hear that their toll had been paid for through your act of kindness. I was delighted. It can be so much fun working here at the parking garage, at times, and meeting wonderful people like you.

— Leonard Parker and fellow workers at Portsmouth Parking Garage
